The Amber update also adds flip-to-silence and double-tap-to-wake, as well as better controls for managing on-board storage. Timing of the Amber update is up to each carrier involved. Neither T-Mobile (Lumia 521, 820) nor Verizon Wireless (Lumia 928) has said when they will offer the Amber update to their customers. </p>http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3905Nokia Planning Software Tweaks for Lumia 920 and 820http://phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=12092#from-phone-3905

http://phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=11836#from-phone-3905Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:29:42 GMT<p>Nokia today confirmed that it will produce no more devices using its old Symbian smartphone platform. Buried in its fourth quarter results, Nokia said, "During our transition to Windows Phone through 2012, we continued to ship devices based on Symbian. The Nokia 808 PureView, a device which showcases our imaging capabilities and which came to market in mid-2012, was the last Symbian device from Nokia." Nokia has already sold off most of the business units related to Symbian. The company first announced its intent to switch from Symbian to Windows Phone in February 2011. It released its first Windows Phone Lumia smartphones in late 2011. Its most recent models include the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820/822. Nokia sold 4.4 million Lumia devices during the fourth quarter of 2012, 700,000 of which were sold in North America. Nokia still sold 2.2 million Symbian devices. The company recorded a profit for the first time in six quarters. </p>http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3905Nokia's Drive+ Beta Offered to All Windows Phones http://phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=11834#from-phone-3905

http://phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=11685#from-phone-3905Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:03:12 GMT<p>Nokia today announced an update to its Cinemagraph lens in order to improve sharing options on social networks. Since some social networks, such as Facebook, don't support animated GIFs directly, the updated Cinemagraph lens allows users to post their GIF to Nokia's servers. They can then provide a link to the GIF in a social media post, email, or other message. When message recipients or others click on the link, they'll be taken to Nokia's servers, which will display the animated picture in their browser. The update is free for Nokia's Lumia Windows Phone devices. </p>http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3905Review: Nokia Lumia 820 for AT&Thttp://phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=11663#from-phone-3905

http://phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=11575#from-phone-3905Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:34:16 GMT<p>Nokia today announced a new application for the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 called PhotoBeamer. PhotoBeamer lets people more easily send photos from their device to a large screen for sharing. Lumia device owners interested in sharing their photos must install the app on their phone and use the app to scroll through their photo gallery. Then they need to open PhotoBeamer.com on a PC or other device. The web site reveals a large QR code. The phone-based app can scan the QR code and then automatically uploads the selected images from the phone to the web site, where they can be viewed on the PC or display. PhotoBeamer works over 3G, 4G, and Wi-Fi. The technology that makes the app work was acquired by Nokia when it purchased Scalado. </p>http://phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=3905Verizon to Sell Nokia Lumia 822 for $99http://phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=11395#from-phone-3905
